Chu Fan's words left Mu Xi and the other women present speechless. In this world, it was common for an emperor to have many concubines. However, Chu Fan actually planned to hold weddings for all the concubines at once. This approach seemed too rash. Didn't he worry that this would undermine traditional etiquette?

Furthermore, for women, a wedding is usually the most important and sacred moment in their lives, and everyone hopes that their wedding will be fully valued and respected. Chu Fan's careless handling of the matter will undoubtedly make these women feel dissatisfied and disappointed, after all, they all long for an unforgettable and solemn wedding ceremony.

Chu Anping put forward his suggestion in a tactful and considerate manner. He said: "Your Majesty, the current economic situation of our Wei State is not bad, so there is no need to rush and merge all the weddings.

How about we hold a wedding for one empress every month? This would not only follow traditional etiquette, but also allow each empress to feel the honor and respect they deserve. At the same time, this arrangement would allow the people of Wei to enjoy a festive atmosphere every month, which would not only strengthen the cohesion among the people, but also demonstrate Your Majesty's grace and benevolence."

Chu Fan pondered for a moment at this moment. Chu Fan thought that if he followed the plan of marrying a wife every month, it would take him several months to complete the process.

Chu Fan carefully calculated the girls around him, including Liu Xueyu, Mu Xi, Changsun Pinqing (although Changsun Pinting was still young and needed to wait two years), Tang Ji, and Wen Xuexuan. These six women needed him to hold a formal wedding.

In addition, there are four palace maids including Qiuya. Due to their special status, it is obviously impossible to arrange a grand wedding ceremony for them, so they can be ignored.

Chu Fan was still waiting for the situation in Japan to become clearer; he wasn't in a rush to head to the front lines. Therefore, these five months were perfect for planning and holding the wedding. Once the affairs in Japan were concluded, he would initiate his plan to lead the army in person.

Chu Fan knew very well that just as the Ming Dynasty's God of War Zhu Qizhen was captured by the Oirat people not far from the capital, as an emperor he must also make those enemies dare to face him and rush to his front.

Chu Fan thought it through and agreed with Chu Anping's opinion. He then said, "Since Sixth Master has proposed this, then we will proceed according to the plan of marrying once a month, ensuring that each wedding is well-mannered and royal in style. We will start with Liu Xueyu and proceed in order."

Although Chu An was full of doubts and didn't understand why Chu Fan would first choose to marry a princess from another country, he still decided to respect Chu Fan's choice. After all, as the king of a country, Chu Fan's every decision must have profound considerations and unique insights.

Chu Anping replied respectfully, "I understand your meaning. I will go to the Imperial Observatory and ask them to select an auspicious day. Then I will begin preparations for the wedding between Your Majesty and the Third Princess of Shu."

Chu Anping didn't raise too many questions about Chu Fan's decision. He knew that no matter what Chu Fan did, he would support him wholeheartedly. Over the past year, every decision Chu Fan had made had been flawless, each one strengthening Wei's national strength and making Wei's prestige even greater on the Shengwu Continent.

Mu Xi and the other female members did not express much objection to Chu Fan's arrangement. Therefore, Chu Fan's plan was successfully agreed upon by everyone, and the preparations for the wedding began in full swing.

After learning of Chu Fan's decision, Mu Xi and other female members returned to their homes and informed their families to make the necessary preparations. After all, a royal wedding is an extremely important event;

Not only does the royal family need to observe the corresponding etiquette, but their families also need to show due pomp and circumstance, and there must not be any negligence in etiquette.

As night fell, Chu Fan summoned a surprising figure: Qin Hui, who had long since lost his influence in the court. Although Qin Hui was the prime minister, his power had been effectively marginalized by the existence of the Imperial Government Affairs Office and the six ministries, each responsible for its own affairs.

There have been many cases in history where the emperor's power was undermined, but in the current Wei State, the power of the prime minister was undermined. It must be said that the court of the Wei State had some unique features.

Even if Qin Hui, who was sidelined, wanted to use his lies to confuse the people in front of the emperor in an attempt to influence the emperor's judgment, he had no chance to meet the emperor at all, so his so-called conspiracy could not be carried out.

In fact, when the power of the emperor and the power of the prime minister conflict and struggle, introducing a third party to balance the power of both sides is undoubtedly a wise strategy. Of course, this third party must be controllable and absolutely loyal to the emperor. Otherwise, the emperor's power will not only fail to be strengthened, but may even be undermined by this third party.

The strategy Chu Fan adopted was clearly to completely suppress the power of the prime minister, thus ensuring the absolute stability of the imperial power. Even if Qin Hui felt much resentment and resentment in his heart, he could only reluctantly submit to his orders and could not pose any threat to the imperial power.

After several large-scale purges and reorganizations, the ministers in the court are now almost all loyal to the emperor and the royal family. Even if Qin Hui wants to plot something, no one will support him or follow him.

Qin Hui, who was originally enjoying a comfortable life at home, was shocked when she suddenly received a summons from the emperor.

He was deeply confused as to why the Emperor had summoned him alone. If it were simply a matter of routine affairs, the Emperor could have easily sent a prince from the Imperial Affairs Office to inform him, without the need for a personal summons. What deeper meaning lay behind this? Qin Hui was filled with doubts.

Qin Hui entered the palace with a feeling of trepidation, secretly speculating on the purpose of this summons. He couldn't help but wonder if he had done anything careless recently that had offended the emperor, or if someone else had some evidence against him that led to this sudden summons.

When Qin Hui entered the imperial study, he immediately bowed his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, Qin Hui, pay my respects to you. I wonder what your Majesty's purpose is in summoning me so late at night?"
